Elevated lipid accumulation product trajectory patterns are associated with increasing incident risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in China.
Our study aimed to identify the trajectory patterns of lipid accumulation product (LAP) and investigate their association with the incident risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China. ⋯ Individuals with moderate fast-increasing LAP trajectory patterns had a 2.4 times higher risk of developing T2DM compared to those with low stable LAP patterns. More attention should be paid to preventing T2DM in people with high levels of LAP, especially females, the elderly, drinkers, and people with a history of diabetes.
